Never looked into Monero, but heard the LTB podcast and suddenly all the constant horde of Monero spammers in this board makes sense. He mentioned that they might be using a service where they pay and get trolls to work for them.
When i listened it i heard a bit different. Andreas was not so sure about Monero. He knows of there is lots of pots but is not sure. He is sure there are many Cryptonote coins made from same group of people that try to make fake community of those coins and FUD all other coins that was started not by them.
There is strong Monero community here.
There are FUDers of other coins Monero is competing to, or maybe exactly group that Andreas mention.
There are random trolls, that just jump the wagon, and dont like one coin have so much attention and community. And people that see only BTC and see all altcoins as death threat to BTC.
And lately there are also so called Monero FakeShills as it is Moneroman88. They try to show liek they are paid by some Monero supporter alto if you see what they do is easily to be seen.
Apparently all this goes from first days of Monero. Started on redit ( i never was there. But i heard those that are). The one that started this, understand crypto really well to see the danger that early on.
Was a bit of a lazy observation from my part, I guess. Its just that a few days back this board was filled with Monero topics. It was frustrating.
At least the retard over here is getting denounced by the community so thats a positive.
